Every day consumers are injured by defective products available in the marketplace.
These injuries can be caused by a defective product that is improperly designed or improperly manufactured. Product defect cases are complicated because the defects are often hidden and consumers are unaware that their injuries were caused by a defective product.
The attorneys at Contigo Centro Legal have the expertise necessary to evaluate your case for a defective product claim. We will fight companies big and small to get you the compensation that you deserve.
Examples of Defective Products
Auto defects. When someone is seriously injured or killed in a car crash, a defect in the vehicle can be responsible for the accident or injuries. Examples of auto defects include:
Faulty fuel lines that turn minor crashes into blazing fires.
Defective seat belts that cause abdominal, spinal or head injuries.
Airbags that deploy with excessive force, fail to deploy, or deploy and shoot shrapnel through the vehicle compartment.
Vehicle rollovers that cause excessive roof crush because of poor design.
Tire defects that cause tire failure and loss of vehicle control. Vehicle rollovers are often caused by tire defects.
Faulty ignition switches that cause loss of power steering and disable the airbags in crashes.
RVs, limousines, 15-passenger vans and other vehicles that are modified from their original design or designed or manufactured improperly.
Consumer product defects. Far too often, companies put unsafe products in the marketplace that severely injure or kill consumers through no misuse of the product. Examples of defective consumer products include:
Construction equipment such as cranes, forklifts, scaffolding and machinery.
Child seats that fail to protect children in car accidents.
Safety harnesses used in activities such as construction work or hunting.
Lawn mowers not equipped with a kill switch to turn a mower off if it overturns.
Household fans that lack a cut-off device that keeps it from overheating and catching fire.
